Osip Mandelstam
Author: Ralph Dutli
Publisher: Verso Books
ISBN: 183976158X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 449
Book Description
The personal and political life of the iconic Russian poet Osip Mandelstam is graphically portrayed in this lavishly illustrated book This is the first full-scale biography of Osip Mandelstam to combine an analysis of his poetry with a description of his personal life, from his beginnings as a young intellectual in pre-revolutionary Russia to his final fate as a victim of Stalinism. The myth has grown up that Mandelstam was a gloomy, miserable figure; Dutli deconstructs this, stressing Mandelstam’s enjoyment of life. There are several underlying themes here. One is Mandelstam’s Jewish background in pre-1914 Russia, which he rejected as a young man, but reaffirmed in later life. Another is the inescapable impact of Russia’s political and social transformation. His evolution as a poet naturally occupies a large place in the biography, which quotes many of his most famous poems, including his devastating anti-Stalin epigram. He produced wonderful poetry before the October Revolution, but did not reach his full poetic stature until the 1930s when in exile in Voronezh. He was never an official Soviet poet, and it was only thanks to the intervention of Bukharin that he was brought back from utter impoverishment. The biography gives full weight to his emotional life, beginning with his friendship with two other Russian poets, Marina Tsvetaeva and Anna Akhmatova, followed by love and marriage to Nadezhda Khazina.

Book Description
To save the magic of two worlds, I must destroy the technology of one… It’s been almost a year since a hedge, a vampire, and a douchebag elf woke my Fae magic and heralded the beginning of the end of the world. And what a ride it’s been. Nobody told me I’d spend all my time dodging assassins and traitors. But It’s not just supernaturals hunting me. Let’s add in angry mobs of hateful humans as well. I only need to open two more gates to restore magical balance between the Fae Plane and Earth. But the damage done to the only home I’ve ever known is tearing Earth apart. The closer I get to my goal, the further I get from the Eleanor who started this quest. If I can’t hold onto myself, I might not like who walks away at the end. If I even survive at all…

Worthy of the Cause for Which They Fight
Author: Robert Patrick Bender
Publisher: University of Arkansas Press
ISBN: 1610754859
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 345
Book Description
Worthy of the Cause for Which They Fight chronicles the experiences of a well-educated and articulate Confederate officer from Arkansas who witnessed the full evolution of the Civil War in the Trans-Mississippi Department and western theater. Daniel Harris Reynolds, a community leader with a thriving law practice in Chicot County, entered service in 1861 as a captain in command of Company A of the First Arkansas Mounted Rifles. Reynolds saw action at Wilson's Creek and Pea Ridge before the regiment was dismounted and transferred to the Army of Tennessee, the primary Confederate force in the western theater. As Reynolds fought through the battles of Chickamauga, Atlanta, Nashville, and Bentonville, he consistently kept a diary in which he described the harsh realities of battle, the shifting fortunes of war, and the personal and political conflicts that characterized and sometimes divided the soldiers. The result is a significant testimonial offering valuable insights into the nature of command from the company to brigade levels, expressed by a committed Southerner coming to grips with the realities of defeat and the ultimate demoralization of surrender.
